You will have unlimited use of the cropping area from the time you arrive at 5 p.m. Friday until you leave at noon on Sunday.  You will be pampered with delicious meals and treats from Friday dinner through breakfast on Sunday.  Fresh linens, showers, and comfy beds in attractively decorated bedrooms will enhance your enjoyment.  Complimentary bottle-dispensed spring water, coffee, diet and regular soda, and snacks are at your disposal.  Your hostesses for the weekend will be at your command.
